It wasn't that bad. He could have mentioned that we'd loose the precious memory of Vladimir Ilyitsh Lenin, Francisco Franco and Kim "ill" Jong, give or take a few more select dictators.

Okay, okay... but who said assumed names weren't valid for quoting?

I agree with Vacant Look.

Aw hell, Antony can delete the whole thread for all I care. It wasn't meant to stir any discussion, but just serve as a fanciful point of reflection on the possible meeting of the real and the fictional worlds.

As usual, threads spin out of control into left field, and somebody gets bent out of shape about where the thread is placed. I wish I could have done it as a news posting to which no replies were possible.

I don't think anyone was bent out of shape. At least I wasn't.

I wasn't bent out of shape, I was being organizational, which I've already stated.
